Esper Time Guardian
Natural fighters, Guardians are masters of melee & hand-to-hand combat, specializing in hastening the actions of their allies while delaying the attacks of their enemies. Learning to manipulate time is a very consuming artform, Jedi and Espers never have the time to commit to it, and esper guardians have enough strength or will to do so and the time to devote to the rare art. Some esper guardians push the skill even further to become Time mages.
Cannot Multiclass -> Jedi, Force Adept or Esper.
Special Exception: Telepath class if race is telepathic.
